Variopinte Enamelware Set

Variopinte Enamelware Set

"It's like a recipe, like adding spices, a bit of green, a bit of red and yellow, then heat it all up, and it's magic," says Stefania di Petrillo of the process of making her handcrafted Variopinte Dinnerware (2009). In Italian, variopinte means multicolored, but to di Petrillo it refers to the idea of the same object realized in various colors. "People don't realize that with enamel you can achieve more colors than Pantone® and it is completely natural," she says. The vibrant hues are created by crushing natural pigments that are mixed in with glass powder and applying it by hand to metal through a firing process. No two firings are exactly the same, giving each piece a unique, one of a kind appearance, and depending on where the piece was suspended during firing, markings may be visible. The enamel is nontoxic. Pack the Variopinte Collection in your picnic basket, since it's durable enough to use outdoors. Dishwasher safe. Made in France.
